Like I promised ,I am here to share my experience getting an Irish visa in Nigeria

Firstly , all thanks to God cos it was never really easy but definitely worth it at the end .

I am not a guru on visa and won't claim to be one

I am just here to help put someone through with any little help I can offer based on my own experience.

Feel free to ask your questions no matter how silly it might sound .

I got a student visa

Steps I took include ;



I got a response from them within 9 days i.e I was offered admission

The documents needed can be found on the school website

You can email them and they will reply stating what documents needed for the application.

I applied to the Irish embassy with all the documents I could find .

My visa processing took took 6 weeks on the dot

Though the courier they used (UPS) wasted a lot of time

When I finally saw the approval on my passport,I forgot my grievances towards the courier.

Attached are the documents used

Flight depends on the airline

And price is subject to the period you will be traveling .
It's generally cheaper if u are traveling in winter and a bit high in summer .

I paid about #50,400 at the submission center in Abuja

HND to masters

How is that even possible?

From the little I know,u need to do a Top-up degree program for one year and thereafter apply for a masters program .

When you contact the school u are interested in ,they will help you with more information.

Don't reply on mere assumptions or hearsay,contact the school by email or call ,they must definitely reply you .

Hello.

Cost depends on the city where your school is located

Schools in Dublin are more expensive ,plus cost of living is higher in Dublin too .
Private schools are more expensive than public schools .
